I Prevail Want You to Know How Hard They Worked

Putting in the workkkkkkkk.

"When you were surfing the web watching pointless youtube videos , I was spending 5 hours a day messaging kids on facebook and twitter asking if they would check out our music."

 

This band is super generic. I can't believe they've gotten popular

 

i was blown away when I saw their Blank Space cover had 32 million views on Youtube, and that their debut album debuted at #15 on the top 200

 

The one and only time I saw them was with Dangerkids in front of 150-200 people and half the crowd left after DK. I stayed just to hear the cover and they played it in the middle of the set. There was a mass exodus after that. Their live set was good but a little too choreographed. That was a couple years ago so I'm guessing they've gotten at least a little better live haha.

Let's break this down:

Sometime in 2013: According to that post, he's been working and saving for 2 years before the band "officially" started.

March 18, 2014 - The earliest known date that the band was formed was on (according to their YouTube page).

October 27, 2014 - 1989 came out.

November 10, 2014 - Blank Space Video/Single was released.

December 1, 2014 - Blank Space cover released/FB page formed.

December 10, 2014 - They released 2 music videos.

December 17, 2014 - Heart vs Mind EP was first released.

March 25, 2015 - Signed to Fearless.

Obviously they struck gold with the Blank Space cover. There's something weird though that they started the band officially in late December and getting signed a year later without any previous experience. Maybe I'm wrong and I'd love for someone to let me know if they were in any big bands prior to I Prevail.

 

Pay2win is good.

 

I'm sorry I have no idea what that is, even after Googling it haha

 

Was there an issue that sparked this FB post other then them getting ragged on?

 

Seriously.

 

Let me know when he's made 5 beats a day for 3 summers.

 

They have the 'number one rock album' on iTunes?

Am I missing something? Literally have never heard of these dudes, on any level, ever.

 

Never heard of this band. Just watched the Taylor Swift cover on YouTube. It's terrible.

 

Few things are more telling about a person than when they say things like "I love when..." or "I find it funny that..." right before launching into a diatribe of shit that they're clearly not fond of at all

Anyway, never listened to this band but this guy sounds like a big baby

 

He is trying too hard to convince people that his band is anything, but a fad. Comes off like he cares way too much about people's perception of his band while being super self righteous and pretentious.

 

This post is such gold and I'm glad you wrote it.

 

i understand the sentiment of why he would be upset, but this kind of Facebook ranting only comes off as self righteous to me.
